Problem: I get double (ddoouubbllee) characters on my screen during a
session.
Solution: You have the wrong duplex setting.
KEYSTROKES: ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ <PGETHELP>
│ ALT │ + │ E │
└─────┘ └─────┘
Problem: When I try to use the DOS gateway it says 'Command processor not
found'. What does this mean?
Solution: In order to use the gateway, ProComm must load a secondary copy
of the command processor (COMMAND.COM). It uses the environment
variable COMSPEC to determine the name and location of the
command processor. COMSPEC is set at system startup to the
drive, directory and program you booted from. Problems can
arise if you boot off a floppy, and then change the floppy in
the boot disk drive. To use the gateway, and the Alt-F func-
tion, be sure that COMSPEC is set and that the command processor
is where COMSPEC says it is.
Problem: When I call online systems like CompuServe or the Source via
Telenet, I get nothing but garbage characters on my screen.
Solution: When using public networks such as Telenet or Tymnet, you must
either call in at E/7/1 (even parity, 7 data and 1 stop bits),
or strip the high bit off each incoming character using the
translate table. <PROGPRAM>
Problem: When I try to run Host Mode it always thinks that somebody is
online; that is, it will automatically go to the "Name: " prompt
and then keep cycling.
Solution: You must set your modem so that it does not force carrier detect
(CD) high, or true. This is usually controlled by a dip switch
on on a 1200 baud modem. On a 2400 baud modem, it can be set in
the init string. <2400 3 17>
Problem: I'm trying to get two computers running ProComm to talk to each
other using a direct connection. What do I do?
Solution: You need to connect the two machines using a null modem cable.
